Curry's Career-High Performance
Stephen Curry's latest performance has left fans and critics alike in awe, as he scored 40 points, including a remarkable 38-foot turnaround jumper at the end of the first half, to lead the Golden State Warriors to a thrilling 121-119 comeback win over the Brooklyn Nets. This shot, which Curry described as a "rhythm shot," was a major momentum shifter, according to teammate Draymond Green, and showcased Curry's incredible shooting skills.
The Warriors' Resurgence
The Warriors' trade for Jimmy Butler has proven to be a game-changer, with the team going 10-1 since his debut and securing a 35-28 record, good for sixth place in the Western Conference standings. Curry has been revitalized by the addition of Butler, averaging 30.3 points on 51-44-90 shooting splits since Butler's Warriors' debut. The team's new plan of flanking Curry with two veterans who can facilitate and defend, Butler and Draymond Green, is paying off, with the Warriors leading the NBA in defensive rating and ranking fourth in offensive rating.
A New Era for the Warriors
The Warriors' recent success has been fueled by Curry's incredible performances, which have drawn comparisons to a "Cirque du Soleil" show, according to Green. With Curry's fans coming out in force to watch him play, the Warriors are experiencing a new era of excitement and success. As they head into a seven-game homestand, their longest of the season, the Warriors will look to continue their winning streak and make a push for the playoffs. With Curry at the helm, anything seems possible for this revitalized team.
